The Mayapur Clean and Green Team, led by Murari Mohini Devi Dasi, has initiated a second-hand recycling store to foster environmental sustainability in the Mayapur community.
With the steady influx and outgoing of devotees, there has long been a need for a platform where individuals leaving Mayapur can pass on unneeded items to those who can use them. Similarly, newly arriving devotees often bring unnecessary items to the Dham, and this initiative provides a way to ensure those goods find a purpose rather than sitting unused in storage or cupboards.
By promoting the exchange of items such as clothes, books, toys, home articles, and devices, the project benefits not only devotees but also local residents who may be in need of affordable or even free items. “There is always someone who can continue to use them even after us,” noted Murari, “And when we need an item, we can consider taking it second-hand. By doing this, we lighten the load on Mother Earth, with less pollution that comes from the production of objects. Instead of discarding those things that are a little broken, we can also try to fix them or transform them into something else.”
